kestak May 8, 2008, 03:25 PM Greetings,
Who is the cheapest (and reliable) seller of hard cast bullets in 45acp 230gr and 9mm 125gr now?
Kead bullet is way over its heads in orders and the delay is too long now.
Gardner's cache is not taking any orders since a while...
Thank you

Riss May 8, 2008, 04:47 PM I got some good ones from King Shooter Supply in Valley Forge. Last lot of 40 cal was $70 delivered and just as nice as their 38 and 45's. www.betterbullets.com/products.htm
putteral May 8, 2008, 04:47 PM Check out Stonewall Bullet Co

Can't beat his prices. Great guy to order from but sells out quickly.
Grandpa Shooter May 8, 2008, 04:51 PM I recommend www.mastercastbullets.com Email Mike to check his prices. I bought some bullets from him and was very pleased, and I am very picky.
trickyasafox May 8, 2008, 06:43 PM I just got an order from stonewall- good product and great communication

Those you cast yourself.
sig.natures May 8, 2008, 08:43 PM Tricky, do you have a number for Stonewall. You are talking about the one in Stonewall, LA, correct?
trickyasafox May 8, 2008, 09:50 PM yes I am- their #
(318) 925-1836
I spoke with them entirely through email- correspondance was quick and helpful.
I ordered their 147gr rn, 158gr LSWC, and 215gr RNFP
the lube is soft- Can't put my finger on it, but its a bit sticky too. maybe lars carnuba or BAC? thats just a guess and I'm not sure.
as a result of soft lube, it does get on the bullets a bit outside of the lube grooves in shipping. this does not affect performance negatively.
most bullet manufacturers use really hard wax lubes that stay in the grooves but don't perform well- stonewall seems to use a far more functional lube.
bullets actually come at size requested, and shoot well for me- but I haven't shot tons of them yet. PM me by saturday to remind me and I'll have a more full range report.
putteral May 9, 2008, 05:58 PM I shoot his 230gr Rn ,200grSWC and just ordered some 200 RNFP and 125gr Rn I had never had a problem or leading. Accruacy is excellant but they are sticky. They do not smoke up after shooting much either.
no_problem May 9, 2008, 06:10 PM I've gotten some from Wideners

.45 cal hardcast 230 grain at 64 bucks a thou right now
Seafarer12 May 11, 2008, 01:27 AM How often does the stonewall place restock their out of stock items.
putteral May 11, 2008, 11:32 AM You have to email him and ask. He is a 1 man operation and usually takes about a month to restock.
Sport45 May 11, 2008, 11:40 AM I've bought from Stonewall too. The bullets look good and the price is right. Haven't shot them yet, still working off the last order I got from Two Alpha Bullets (http://www.twoalphabullets.com/Products.htm). You should check them out too.

Mr. Green is a good guy to deal with.
trickyasafox May 11, 2008, 11:46 PM Stonewall is conservative in their site I found. Even if they are 'restocking' email to check availability. He may have what your looking for on hand.
sig.natures May 18, 2008, 10:41 AM Almost forgot - talk to Stonewall before ordering bullets that you intend to load above ~1100 or so. Unless he has changed his are brinnel 12. He told me that when I was asking for 125 truncated cone 9mm for a 357 sig.
sig.natures May 18, 2008, 10:46 AM just looked at Alpha. 17 Brinnel. You can drive that bullet probably to 1400+ without undue leading.
sig.natures May 18, 2008, 10:49 AM Looks like he has changed. Site says 15 now. That's good for 1250+ IMHO
